A civil court had last month issued process (summons) to Salman and his bodyguard Nawaz Shaikh and directed them to appear before it on April 5.

On Tuesday, Salman's lawyers filed an application before the magistrate's court seeking exemption from appearance. The magistrate's court granted the exemption and posted the matter for hearing on May 9. Salman had approached the Bombay High Court challenging the process (summons) issued to him by the lower court. -- PTI
